    Just wondering if anyone else has been having QC issues. For the last few days, mine has been going into no signal and no connections constantly. Right now it is re-booting itself today for the 6th time. Been noticing it the most when the GPS is active. But three times today did not have the GPS on, and still went into re-boot.

    Ask your DM if others are having issues, don't worry that stuff happens, if it's just you (more or less) then have shop look at it, might be bad connect or faulty part

    I had to re-boot mine today when I stopped for a break. It froze and I did the ctl-alt-delete routine and it came back to life. It also seemed dead slow today but I got no warning message from my DM and she is usually quick with a note if the system is having problems. I routinely get the no signal/connection lights but I think its due to running the Northwest a lot lately and other places where the signal is compromised. I believe the message section works off cell tower signal and the gps is satelite if i remember correctly from researching the thing way back when. Also remember it uses a Windows operating system...

    Or treat it like an old black and white TV and knock the fire out of it.

    Not real worried about it. After one year, this is just starting. Two weeks ago was having a problem with the screen flickering on and off over bumps, and found a lose connection on the box in the cargo area. this no signal, no connection has been going on for the last week now, from Texas all the way up to IL and over here to PA.

    Mine gives me fits with the GPS running too. Some places more often than others. If I'm going south on I-5 towards LA my QC will ALWAYS lose connections, flash the screen, give me use paper log warnings, gps locks up and doesn't move, etc all the way from Magic Mountain to about where the 210 and the 134 meet in Pasedena.
